Is the purpose of using Retin A to have your face continually peel?

I've been using Retin A for a couple of months. My doctor told me to start out slow every four days and would like me to get to using it every other day for wrinkles. I've been using it every other day for about a month now suddenly my skin and around the corners of my mouth and chin is peeling right when I have functions to attend. Am I suppose to exfoliate or moisturize? Is my whole face going to peel and look terrible? Is it suppose to peel or am I using it too often? I'm about ready to throw in the towel. It doesn't seem like something burning your skin off can be a good thing.
